Main theatre

Talks, live on stage.

Keep it quiet for the speakers and pop your phone on silent.

Next door

E&Y Theatre

The same talks, live on the big screen. Chat, hack, take a call, or bring the kids.

Made for everyone

Live captions on every talk, in the room and on the YouTube stream.
Main theatre too much? The E&Y Theatre has the same talks with room to move, chat and take a break.
Need a seat closer to the screen, a quieter spot, or a hand getting around? Ask anyone in a yellow crew shirt.

Housekeeping

Lost or stuck?

Find anyone in a yellow crew shirt, or the rego desk out front.

Be excellent to each other

No harassment of anyone, in any form, in person or online.
